Modulation of action potentials using PEDOT:PSS conducting polymer microwires.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We describe the use of PEDOT:PSS conducting polymer microwires to modulate action potentials in single cells. PEDOT: PSS conducting polymer microwires are electrochemically synthesized with diameters ranging from 860 nm to 4.5 μm and conductivities of ~30 S/cm. The length of the microwires is controlled by the spacing of the electrodes used for the electrochemical polymerization. We demonstrate the use of these microwires to control the action potentials of cardiomyocytes, showing that the cellular contractions match the frequency of the applied voltage. Membrane integrity assays confirm that the voltage delivered by the wires does not damage cells. We expect the conducting polymer microwires will be useful as minimally invasive devices to control the electrical properties of cells with high spatial precision.
